In reference to the sale of wines and LIQUORS

conference, giving impressions cleaned

The Musicians, Leapue.

CHICAGO, March 10. - The National
league of musicians of the United States
to-day passed resolutions asking congress
to prohibit bands in the government employ
from competing with local musicians, and
protesting against the importation of
foreign bands on contract. A committee
consisting of MeSsrs. Currier, of Chicago;
Miller, of st. Louis, and O'Reilly, of New
York. was appointed to go to Washington
to secure necessary legislation on these
points next December. The action of Chi
cagO local musicians in refusing to strike at
the behest of Mapleson's orchestra was sus-
tanned. Mapleson's orchestra came with
his company from San Francisco to the
Chicago opera house, played four nights
and then struck for arrears of wages. ex-
pecting the local orchestra to strike with
them. This they refused to do, because
the opera orchestra said nothing about the
arrears until they had played four nights.

Democratic Turnout.

There was largely attended meeting of
Democrats last night at the Algonquin club
rooms, the object being to discuss the po-
litical situation and take measures looking
TO vigorous and aggressive campaign. 1t
seemed the sentiment of the meeting that
anything savoring of conference with Re-
publicans and the nomination of non-parti-
san candidates would not be tolerated, and
it is now reasonably certain the Democrats
will nominate their own city and ward
tickets, with every pospect of electing
them. Reports by wards showed very
promising state of affairs, and revealed the
Democracy alert and hopeful and reinforced
by many independents, who are disguised

lots of business men that the last legislature
had killed the Republican party and now,
say, let us go in and walk over the
corpse" Working committees were ap-
pointed in each ward, and the campaign

LOWRY BUNS THE MOTOR.
Steam to be Discontinued and a Cable
Substituted a Once.

A deal was partially consummated yes
terday, by which Thomas Lowry becomes
the purchaser of the property of the Mime
apolis, Lyndale & Minnetonka Railway
company, better known as the motor line.
The stock was held by j. j. Hill, S. S.

former being III the name Of Mr.. Benedict.
his secretary. By noon yesterday the Hill
and Pillsbury stock had been purchased,
and it was understood before night that
Mr.. Small and Mr.. Lowry had arrived at
satisfactory agreement. The transfer of
the stock means some very important
changes in the line. the most conspicuous
of which will be the removal of steam
and the substitution of cable of the same
design as that to be used in Selby avenue in
st. Paul. 1t is also understood the line will
be continued out Nicollet avenue to Fifteth
street, near the Washburn home. 1t will
be some little time yet before the transfer
is completed. and it is probable that ar
engagements for the cable will not be COM
pleted before next summer. The right to
use steam does not expire until next year,
after which another year is granted in
which to put in the new motive power.

There are several stories floating about to
the effect that the engrossed police COM

of the speaker of the house and president
OF the senate, was mislaid or stolen and
never reached the governor, and that a
bogus bill was run in and received his sig

is general belief that something is wrong

To the Editor of the Globe:
l desire, through the valuable columns of
your paper. to thank you, the press and the
public in general, for the kindness and noto-
riety rendered me during my absence from
the city. 1 was not aware that there was any
law, or that l lived in u community which re
quired to give notice of any contemplated
journey intended making. The press in
general has been very anxious regarding my
welfare, and will in all probability hear from
me, as desire to reciprocate in full for the
man kindnesses shown. During my twenty
one years residence in this state (eight years
of which was spent at Fergus Falls and Min
neapolis) have always paid 100 cents on the
dollar, and defy any one to-day to produce
any paper of mine on which l am not able to
pay premium. After twenty-five years of
active business life, the man does not live
who holds Judgment against me for any
amount. either on this continent or the other,
My headquarters for the next few days will
be at 253 Hennepin avenue, and should l con-
template journey will make it my especial
business, if requested, to give the papers
due notice. J. X. O'BRIEN.
